The Best Foundation in Design at First City University College

First City University College offers affordable Foundation, Diploma & Degree programmes at their 13-acre campus in Bandar Utama

Students after SPM who are interested in design courses should take note that some universities do not take in students with A-Levels, STPM or Pre-University programs that do not contain any design subjects. Therefore, if you have taken the STPM or A-Levels without any design subjects, you won’t be able to enter into the degree in design.

The one-year Foundation in Design programme at First City University College provides a general art & design education to enable students to gain experience in practical studio work, 2D and 3D designs, research and writing. It develops student’s skills on visual analysis, fundamental drawing, colour studies, research and critical writing skills.

The Foundation programme also equips students with creative, intellectual and critical skills before progressing to the

degree programmes as it provides personal diagnostic appraisal which will aid students in a specific design discipline in the degree programmes.

Students will enter into the Foundation in Design after your SPM or O-Levels with 5 credits. After the Foundation, you can choose from the following UK Dual Award degrees awarded by top ranked Manchester Metropolitan University, UK:
